Depends on the club.
My club won't allow you to lead rides unless you are a member.
Also, members get discounted registration for certain events. For example, every year my club runs a ride to Brooklyn. The cost is $65 for members. $75 for non-members. Yearly club dues are only $15 for the entire household. I live with my GF and we both do the Brooklyn ride every year. Paying the $15 membership fees saves us $20 on that event alone. We also have spring and fall getaway weekends that are discounted for club members. And the club has an annual picnic that is held at the pro race in Philly. Free food and beer for members.
